AMD has recently launched its EPYC 4004 series Socket AM5 processors designed for small-business servers. These processors offer unique core and clock speed configurations that are not typically found in the client Ryzen series. For example, the EPYC 4124P features a 4-core/8-thread setup and a 28-lane PCIe Gen 5 I/O die.
Interestingly, it has been discovered that the EPYC 4124P processor is compatible with regular AM5 desktop motherboards, albeit requiring a special BIOS. One user decided to take advantage of this compatibility by building a custom setup, cooling the system with liquid nitrogen, and embarking on an overclocking journey.
After some experimentation, the user managed to achieve an impressive 6.70 GHz all-core overclock, a significant improvement from the processor's base frequency of 3.80 GHz. This overclocking feat allowed the user to set new benchmark records for native quad-core processors, surpassing higher core-count chips with disabled cores in the BIOS.
